What a wonderful find. My husband and I were driving through Lexington on our home to Chicagoland from a vacation in Gatlinburg TN. I was looking for a nice sit down restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. Merrick Inn did not disappoint. The free valet parking was helpful as there is not much parking nearby. The building is a beautiful old farm house. It feels like you are having dinner at a big country manor. Each room is a small dining room with a different decor making it feel small and intimate even though it is a large building. Our waitress, Rachel, was very personable and accommodating with my gluten intolerance. The food was delicious. I ordered the pork chop, green beans and asparagus. My husband had the pork tenderloin, green beans and asparagus. The meat was tender, juicy and had amazing flavor. Highly recommend this restaurant.
